👉 The "neither fluid" in this context refers to a substance that lacks the defining properties of traditional fluids, such as having neither a fixed volume nor shape like liquids do. Instead, it behaves more like gases or solids, often exhibiting properties of both states. For instance, a gas-like fluid fills any container it occupies without maintaining a specific shape or volume, while a solid-like fluid might flow slowly but still resist being compressed like a solid. This unique behavior arises from its molecular structure, where particles are either widely spaced (like in a gas) or tightly packed (like in a solid), but not in the rigid, fixed state of conventional liquids.
